 I burnt his beak out a bit. Probably should have been 1/3-2/3 of a stop faster on the shutter speed. I had opened it up a bit too much after creating a few shadows in the sky lol.

The wing tips are awesome.

It's difficult to photograph a black bird and not blow out the lighter parts. That 's nice sharp detail in the wing feathers.

Still looks suitably vulturish. Not the most attractive birds, are they? Like the wing tips, though.
